This week, we are learning about the healthy advantage. Not just a function of age or wealth, health is more about care. In the summer sun, it is nearly impossible to drink too much water. In the heat and humidity, early morning is the best time to get outside. In shops filled with processed convenience, it's fresh whole foods that heal.

On my morning walk down to the beach this morning, I noticed a startling new trend in this quiet, remote, tiny fishing village – used surgical masks discarded into the river, ready to be swept into the sea with the next rain. With three rubbish bins within a one-minute walk, the senseless of this insensitive behavior left me incensed -- read more. |
